    The 6700 Slide looks like a smartphone for the masses, with a good mix of technology you'll probably use and expensive tech you might not find you'll need.

  • Nokia E72

    Business users looking for a competent, no-nonsense smartphone will like the E72 for its breadth of features and stylish design.

  • Navman MY500XT

    Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.

  • Nokia BH-905

    In terms of audio quality and comfort, the Nokia BH-905 is certainly one of the best stereo Bluetooth headsets out there.

  • Nokia 6720 Classic

    With so many excellent phones to choose from, Nokia hasn't done nearly enough to make the 6720 desirable. It does the basics well, but struggles to justify its price.

  • Nokia E52

    At first sight the Nokia E52 won't set your heart racing, but its excellent battery life and ease of use make it a smartphone worthy of consideration.

  • Nokia X6

    Nokia has announced its next Comes with Music handset, and it looks to be the goods. Gone is the resistive touchscreens of its earlier models, plus it has a whopping 32GB of storage to keep your music on.

  • Pioneer AVIC-F10BT

    Pioneer's top-of-the-range in-dash navigation unit, the F10BT features a 7-inch touchscreen, movie playback including DivX, Bluetooth hands-free, USB connectivity and iPod support, as well as sat nav with text-to-speech, 3D view and traffic messaging.

  • Best GPS-enabled mobile phones

    While it could be argued they're not as robust as in-car sat-navs, these GPS-enabled mobile phones can help you find your bearings when you're on the move.
